Stem Cells and Diabetes Therapy
Researchers are investigating the use of stem cells to treat diabetes by regenerating the insulin-producing beta cells found in the pancreas. This strategy seeks to reestablish the body's natural regulation of blood glucose levels. Both embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells are being examined for their potential to form fully functional beta cells. Current studies aim to enhance their survival, integration, and immune defense for lasting therapeutic outcomes.
